The war cabinet will meet at 5 p.m. to look at proposals for a hostage deal in the ongoing talks in Cairo, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.
The meeting of the three-man panel will be followed by a summit of the larger security cabinet at 7 p.m., the official says.
An official in Jerusalem told The Times of Israel earlier that significant gaps remain between the sides, tempering previous optimism.
The Hamas terror group issued a statement earlier confirming that it had received Israel’s latest proposal through Qatari and Egyptian brokers. It called the offer “intransigent,” but said it would study it further before delivering a response to the mediators.
